HOW TO ACCESSORIZE, especially in this weather.

Do you wonder why some people always look fabulous even with a simple outfit? Well, Any outfit can go from boring to stunning with the right accessories. You just need to learn to buy pieces that express your personality and remember not to overdo, here are a few tips that will draw extra (positive) attention to any outfit:

Use a splash of color especially during the cold weather;

Color is your friend. If your outfit is plain (black and white, black and grey, etc.), create a pop of color with jewelry, a scarf, a handbag, or a bright shoe. Also, Choose colors based on your skin tone to determine which colors will look best on you. If you have darkish (or cool) undertones in your skin, try peaches, reds, and oranges to spruce up your outfits. If your skin has chocolate (or warm) undertones, blues or greens will work best. And, don't be afraid to use color in your makeup, too (not too much, of course). For instance, a colorful eye shadow looks great paired with toned-down lips and cheeks. And, instead of using lipstick, try a gloss. Most lip glosses with a gold or peach tint go well with any skin tone.

Be careful with proportions. 

If you’re wearing an outfit that is big and voluminous, scale back on the accessories. If you’re wearing something sleeker, you can go a little bigger and bolder with a chunky cocktail ring or big, bright handbag.

Try layering your bracelets. 

Stacked bangles are a hot trend this winter. Wear a bunch on one arm to easily add sparkle to an outfit. You can buy a pack of bangles at toteallykenya, very trendy and budget friendly.

Don’t be afraid to mix materials. 

I know some people don’t believe this, but it totally okay to mix metals when it comes to jewelry. Mixing up your jewelry creates a fabulous vintage look, so don’t be afraid to throw things together and see what happens. You might come up with some amazing combos

Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize.
Nothing makes an outfit stand out more than the right accessories. If you're wearing a plain outfit, a great belt, flashy necklace, or fashionable handbag will definitely get you noticed. If you're in professional clothing most of the time, adding an accessory or two will make your outfit more interesting. However, it's important to match the accessories with the outfit, so that your look will be both fashionable and appropriate. For instance, a big, chunky necklace may work great for evening wear, but not for the office. Accessorizing with pearls, thin belts, and brooches look wonderful with pants suits or business-like skirts and tops. Bohemian-style tassel belts, hoop earrings, and sequined handbags compliment outfits with denim or suede quite nicely. And, depending on the season, a good pair of sunglasses could add just the right touch to any outfit. Be sure to purchase glasses according to your face shape, and don't try to match the color of your sunglasses with the color of your outfit (i.e. peach-colored shades with a peach outfit is a big no-no.)

Don’t wear too many accessories at once. 

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, and you don’t want to resemble a kid playing dress up in mom’s closet. Exercise a little bit of restraint with accessories – if you have statement earrings on, don’t add bangles, a cocktail ring, and a scarf. Keep it to one or two main pieces.

It's all about the shoes.
Every woman knows that shoes are the foundation of any outfit. The perfect pair of shoes can turn an average outfit into a fabulous ensemble. When you're choosing shoes for an outfit, there are a couple of things to think about: Where are you going to wear the shoe? How long will you have the shoes on? Will the shoes give your outfit a whole new look, or will they be consistent with the look of the clothes? This will help you determine what pair of shoes to match up with your clothes. For work, choose shoes that are both comfortable, but make a statement. Kitten heels or wedge heels will provide a little more comfort than a stiletto or pump, and the right flat shoes can make a pants or skirt outfit just the right touch of business-casual style. If you have an engagement right after work and don't have time to change, simple switching out shoes can make a big difference. For instance, if you've been wearing flats all day, try a heel in a bright, eye-catching color if your outfit is plain. Or, if you've worn heels in the daytime, a beautiful flat accented with sequins or embroidery will work well with just about any outfit.
